Description

Chicken breasts are coated with spicy mustard and seasoned bread crumbs to seal in the juices, then baked in lemon butter for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
paprika to taste

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2 Brush the chicken breast halves on all sides with the mustard. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Press the chicken into the bread crumbs to evenly coat. Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
3 In a bowl, mix the butter, lemon juice, and water. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the mixture over each chicken breast. Pour the remaining mixture around the breasts in the dish.
4 Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Uncover, season with paprika, and continue baking 15 minutes.
